Yes, after great expectations since his first visit last year Facundo is back in Maui with us.
Starting next Tuesday at 7 pm at Curves Gym, in Pukalani (95 Makawao Ave #202) he will offer a series of 8 classes, all of them followed by a practice for a total of 3hs of tango with the Maestro.
We'll be working on the fundamentals as well as some new steps to add to your vocabulary. Facundo's was fenomenal last year with his series on milonga.

It is also a great oportunity for beginners who want to start with the right foot. Facundo is a living legend who's been dancing and teaching profesionally since the early '50's . His dance is simple yet elegant and dynamic, true to the salon style.
Facundo Posadas is an icon in the world of Argentine Tango and the only Afro-Argentine traveling the world to share the roots of this dance by teaching Milonga and Candombe. Robert Farris Thompson writes of Facundo in his book Tango:The Art History of Love "today's master of Argentine tango, milonga, and jazz dance" and tells of the rich history of the Posadas family dating back to the 1800s.
Facundo started dancing at a young age and enjoyed dancing in Buenos Aires all his life. He’s been dancing since the early ‘50’s with many of the great orchestras of the Golden Age such as that of Jose Basso, Anibal Troilo, Osvaldo Pugliese, Juan D'Arienzo, Carlos DiSarli, Miguel Calo, and Jose Colangelo. Since 1997 he has traveled extensively teaching and performing at festivals and tango communities around the world such as the Miami Tango Fantasy (8 years), Tango Society of Boston (9 years), New York City's La Nacional (5 years), and Triangulo Tanguero of North Carolina (6 years). AND NOW WE HAVE HIM ON HAWAII !!!
He has also been in 6 films including Tango The Obsession in which Facundo also narrates, Tango Un Giro Extraño, Despabilate Amor Afro-Argentinos, Negro Che and El Cafe de Los Maestros (by Gustavo Santaolaya filmed in the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires). He has also been featured in many television shows for Buenos Aires television as well as the BBC in London. Those of us who took his classes during the past tango fest in august know the beauty and simplicity of his elegant style, making it possible and easy to understand for dancers of all levels and all ages. Facundo is living history, to me learning from him is like learning the Blues from BB King or John Lee Hooker. Facundo will help us work on all the fundamentals, posture, balance, walk, embrace, connection. His flexible and dynamic teaching method allows him to adapt to our particular needs making progress as we go, we learn exactly what we need at the time, not what’s written on a fixed program. This method proved fun and successful during his last visit. Experience the beauty and freedom of Tango Salon, after canyengue, the most old and traditional form of tango, elegant, playful and intense at the same time.
Learn the fundational elements that you can then translate to other forms of tango like Milonguero or Nuevo. Get to know those little simple tips and tricks that make the big difference and things will be possible for everybody. We will visit all four rhythms, Tango, Vals, Milonga, and Candombe, and if we are interested enough, we can have a full class dedicated to Traditional Candombe, a true African dance derived from the Congo traditional rhythms.
